Message from Mrs. Kunze
This week is National Teacher Appreciation Week! Our teachers have worked extremely hard all year preparing lessons, grading papers, providing after school help, sponsoring activities, and responding to emails for the development and success of our children. Teachers do not teach for the money. They choose to teach to make a difference in the lives of children. I encourage you to take a few minutes this week to send an email or send a card to a teacher that has made a difference with your child. Words of gratitude and encouragement mean more to teachers than you can possibly imagine.
The faculty and staff will enjoy a luncheon on Wednesday courtesy of PTSO. I want to express my gratitude in advance for having such an amazing and supportive PTSO!
Grades were updated in HAC last Friday. We encourage you to check your child's progress and contact the teacher with any questions or concerns.
8th grade students will receive information in homeroom this week regarding the annual 8th grade dance. Students voted on the theme and chose Royal Ball. The dance will be Friday, May 20th from 7-10pm.
This Friday at 1pm, 8th graders are heading to GradVenture at Universal and Islands of Adventure theme parks. We will return at 3am on Saturday and drop-off will be at the Publix on 210.
Message from Ali Lindenfeld, our PTSO President
Every year, SPMS honors our outstanding 8th graders at an awards ceremony on the last day of school, Thursday, May 26th. This year's event will again be held in Swiss Point's auditorium. Due to space limitations, the parents of the award recipients will be the only parents invited to attend. This year PTSO will be helping with setting up for the awards and providing refreshments afterwards for all students. PTSO is looking for volunteers to help with setting up, serving, and breaking down for the ceremony and refreshments. We are asking for a maximum of 20 adults to help with the event. If you are interested and if you can stay all day (arrive by 8:30am for set up and stay until release at 1pm), please contact PTSO president Ali Lindenfeld at SPMSPTSO@ hotmail.com. Volunteers will be assigned on a first come first served basis. We will also accept monetary donations to help with the cost of the refreshments. Thank you for your support!
Testing continues and we are still in need of proctors. If you can spare a few hours, please volunteer.

EATING FOR EXAMS!!!
Exam Tip #1
Keep calm and Breakfast on! Its true breakfast is the most important meal of the day, it gets the brain going. Protein and carb coupling is a good way to go. A protein example is: eggs, meat & cheese, A carb example is vegetables, breads and cereals. The carb makes us full and happy and the protein sustains us. Did you know eggs contain a nutrient called choline, it is thought to help cognitive performance and improve memory as we age.
Exam Tip #2
Stay Hydrated. Water allows many of the chemical reactions in our bodies to take place and therefore, the speed at which our brains can work and process information will be affected if we become dehydrated. Mayo Clinic recommends:
3L of water/day for BOYS, that's 100 oz , or 6 water bottles/day.
2.2L of water/day for GIRLS, that's 80 oz, or 5 bottles of water/day.
Exam Tip #3
Dude, chewable Vit C is not a meal! Supplements are good but real food is better. An orange contains Vitamine C, fiber, beta carotene and other minerals. So, pack whole food items like apples, bananas, clementine's, carrot sticks and dried apricots.
Exam Tip #4
Going bananas with all this testing? GOOD! Fruit ranks high among the best foods you can eat for your brain. Blueberries get a lot of attention because they contain powerful antioxidants and other nutrients. Natural sugars in fruit offer clean energy so you don't experience the crash that follows consumption of refined sugar, like candy.
Exam Tip #5
It's a no brainer, the better food your brain gets the better you will be able to perform on your tests! Iron and B vitamins are especially important to maintaining the physical and mental energy necessary to study well. Iron -containing foods include red meats, cereals and spinach. Foods that contain B vitamins include whole grains, eggs and nuts. Fish and soy are other foods that are known to boost your brain by providing the nutrients it needs.

Moseley's Food for Thought
April is Alcohol Responsibility Month! It is designed to unite students under a common goal of increasing awareness about the health and safety risks associated with alcohol. Mrs. Moseley is in the process of teaching an Alcohol lesson to all 8 th grade students through their History class. If you have an 8th grader, ask them about what they learned from the lesson! It will be a great discussion starter for you and your child! Some good information can be found on the following website from Foundation for Advancing Alcohol Responsibility for adults, teens and even elementary age children: http://responsibility.org/
Online Courses
If your child is considering taking an online course please contact their guidance counselor before enrolling them as there is a lot of information we need to give ahead of the registration process.
